Sears has the Craftsman Nextec Rotary Tool for $30 (free pick-up). Regular price $90... Comes with 40 accessories, battery charger, and a tote bag is pictured (but not mentioned in the description). This would make a great Christmas present!

In for two...my uncle is a Craftsman lifer! If you use the code sears2012 with a 50$ purchase you save 5$ FYI Thanks FW!

Thanks OP! This is a really good price. I've been really happy with these Nextec tools. They're nice and compact, work great for average small jobs. Battery life seems good too. I've bought many different ones now, most less then $50 each, mostly thanks to the great people here on Fatwallet!

I also just ordered the auto hammer for $20 (Thanks Djune; been watching that one for awhile). Would rather have the newer version with the adjustable head, but for $20, I'll see how it works. It's worth that just for the battery.

Also, on top of the "sears2012" code mentioned above by loslonelyman, Discover card is currently offering 10% Cash Back at Sears through ShopDiscover.

I was told if the item has the Sear's "Craftmans" logo on it then it is covered by the craftsman lifetime guaranteed.

I'm in with lifetime coverage..............

I am not sure if the free drill bits applies to this purchase (there weren't any in my area so I could not add it to my cart to verify), but it's worth a shot:

Discount applies in cart Screwdriver Bit Set with magnetic Bit Holder 00920910000P FREE with purchase of any qualifying Drill Sold By Sears. While supplies last. Must add BOTH Sears item 00920910000P and any qualifying drill to cart to see discount. Discount only applies in cart. Offer good through 31-Dec-2012"

Thank you. This, for me, was a great buy. I got the combo-kit with the small drill, right-angle hammer drill, w/ batt., charger, case, etc., for $40+ little over a year ago. Luv them for short, quick, work - beats wiring and hauling my 1/2" drill around, and quick, in place of my 19.2V Craftsman drill. I have a Great Dremel set - 120V. Just hate dragging it out for a quick cut, etc. This will complete almost everything I need to do quick, fast, light-to-medium, jobs. And I now have an extra battery and charger. This whole thing is cheaper than the cost of a new battery. Using SYW credits, tax, in-store pickup - final cost less then $26. I'm happy.

NO - IMHO - Nextel is not for routine, continuous work. It will get hot if pushed. I use it for quick, 1-2 hour projects. I cut nails, drive 'some' screws into old, hardened, southern pine, running nuts and bolts in-out of my car egine . . . just general handyman work. Don't buy this if you think u're going to use it all-day, every-day. For a homeowner, like me . . I luv these tools. . . . . . IMHO.

I wholeheartedly agree. Nextec tools are not heavy duty nor are they priced so. Nextec are great for that occassional homeowner task and not for the jobsite. A year ago I had to replace an exterior door with frame. I pulled out my trusty DeWalt tools and went at it. Unfortunately, even with the clutch turned down the DeWalts were tearing every other screw head off as I installed the frame. On a lark I pulled out the Nextec drill/driver and found that it was FAR BETTER than the DeWalts for this application. The job got done and the tools were a joy to use.

Nextec are "finesse" tools ...

I'm a recent homeowner and am needing to do several projects. Long term I'd like to get into some jobs such as building a shed/planter box etc, Nextec is fine for this?

In for one. I love my old Dremel, but cordless could come in handy. Need to take some broken ratchets in anyway. green!
